There are programs that "stuff" keys into the keyboard buffer. If doing that fixes the problem then at least we'd have a better idea if it's related to the buffer or port 60h. The reason I'd be interested to know is that I'm not sure DOSBox correctly emulates the "before any keypress" behavior of …

Well, with PAUSE you have to press a key, just as you do when typing commands, so maybe the game gets confused when there is no key, er, "history", such as reading the last key on port 60h, keys recorded in the BIOS key buffer (even if already processed by BIOS), etc. If so then it is a weakness in …

I get: 1. Team17/Ocean 2. Split. 3. Intro sequence. 3. Game menu. You obviously have another version, the GOG release has different intro screens. With the pause command I get 1. Microprose screen 2.

I just accidently noticed something I just can't explain: Using the current SVN the game "World Rally Fever" always skips the third intro screen and the following intro sequence, no matter what settings I use. However, I just put a "pause" command at the beginning of the [autoexec] section of my …

Thanks Yesterplay80! Since some patches interfere with others because they change the same files and sometimes even the same lines, I came up with a single patch file, if anyone's interested, this is it: What did you do to avoid conflict, in case I encounter the same problem? Exactly, Dominus! :) …

Although it is almost redundant, I also compiled a build including the pixel perfect patch and the NukedOPL patch, I added the 3Dfx patch though. It's the file called "DOSBox SVN r3995 PLUS.7z" from the download site linked in my signature.

There are also free sourceports like Yamagi Quake 2 for the Mac, which uise the files from the Windows version. But I'm glad it worked out for you with DOSBox as well! 😀

Sorry, I just don't get it. You say you want the game to be portable so you can play it on every system. But then you are already using different versions (Win, N64, PSX emulated, etc.) of the game after all. So why don't you just use a Mac port of Quake 2 instead of trying to run it with a DOS port …

The game runs fine in the current SVN (r3993) if you set the cycles to anything above 5000 and not 'max'. This was already discovered severals years ago, as you can read in the official DOSBox compatibility list . I just tested it with core=auto cputype=auto cycles=10000 https://youtu.be/BuA-JBBf738 …

Oh my god, this is so embarrassing... :depressed: I found the solution to my problem: I changed the controls for Player 1 to Q,W,A,S. Nothing wrong with that, you'd think.

That didn't help either. I created a new config file in DOSBox (config -wc) and changed only the cycles. 10000, 15000, 50000, 150000, 250000... it doesn't matter, the sound still disappears and reaapears every now and then.

Try increasing the cycles setting. On my system the issue is avoided with cycles=max or sufficiently high fixed cycles. In fact, cycles are already set to "max" because I noticed some slowdown with the 3000 cycles the "auto" setting deemed sufficient. I also tried several settings for core and cpu …
